The Sports Coupe first appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', as an unlockable kart body. It offers a boost in speed and weight, but a decrease in acceleration, anti-gravity handling, traction and mini-turbo. It has identical stats to the [[Mach 8]], [[Circuit Special]], [[Gold Standard]], [[B Dasher]], and [[P-Wing (kart)|P-Wing]]. Like the Circuit Special, its engine sound is reminiscent of a real-world racing car, and the Sports Coupe is also one of the vehicles in ''Mario Kart 8'' to have a supercharged engine (but is twin turbocharged), which almost sounds like a {{wp|flat-six engine}} from a {{wp|Porsche 911 GT3}}, but is actually a DOHC {{wp|V6 engine}}. The 150cc Time Trial staff ghosts for [[Mario Kart Stadium]] in both ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' use [[Mario]] on the Sports Coupe with [[Standard (tire)|Standard]] tires and the [[Super Glider]]. | The Sports Coupe first appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', as an unlockable kart body.

In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', the Sports Coupe now has an increase in traction but a decrease in ground speed and water speed (although it offers a boost to air speed and a bigger boost to anti-gravity speed); it also now negatively impacts ground and air handling while boosting anti-gravity handling. As a result, the Sports Coupe now shares its stats with only the [[Mach 8]] and the [[Inkstriker]] instead. CPU [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] and [[Isabelle]] can be seen occasionally riding this kart with Standard tires.

[[Donkey Kong]] and [[Funky Kong]] are also seen using this kart occasionally, but pairs it up with the [[Monster (tire)|Monster tires]] instead. The [[Toad Harbor]] and [[N64 Toad's Turnpike|Toad's Turnpike]] 200cc Time Trial staff ghosts in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' use [[Toad]] and [[Toadette]] respectively on the Sports Coupe with [[Slick]] tires. | ||
